Data on the beam asymmetry Σ in the photoproduction of η mesons off protons are reported for tagged photon energies from 1130 to 1790 MeV (mass range from W=1748 MeV to W=2045 MeV). The data cover the full solid angle that allows for a precise moment analysis. For the first time, a strong cusp effect in a polarization observable has been observed that is an effect of a branch-point singularity at the pη^{'} threshold [E_{γ}=1447 MeV (W=1896 MeV)]. The latest BnGa partial wave analysis includes the new beam asymmetry data and yields a strong indication for the N(1895)1/2^{-} nucleon resonance, demonstrating the importance of including all singularities for a correct determination of partial waves and resonance parameters.

This study investigated the effects of unilateral temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs), specifically disc displacement without reduction and osteoarthritis on one side of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), on facial asymmetry in women, while the contralateral TMJ exhibits normal findings. Participants were retrospectively enrolled and divided into an affected group (n = 42 with unilateral TMJD) and a control group (n = 49 with bilateral healthy TMJs). The affected group was dagnosed with osteoarthritis on cone-bema computed tomograph and anterior disk displacement without reduction on magnetic resonance imaging.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the alterations in condylar positioning in adult skeletal Class I patients with unilateral posterior crossbite after microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study involving 30 participants (10 males, 20 females) average age 22.9 ± 4.

Purpose: This study aimed to quantitatively analyze temporomandibular joint (TMJ) space volume changes before and after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) with intended manual condyle positioning in patients with severe facial asymmetry.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, including 20 patients with facial asymmetry (menton deviation >8 mm) who underwent BSSRO with intended manual condyle positioning at a single institution. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained preoperatively (T0), 2 days postoperatively (T1), and 6 months postoperatively (T2).

We have measured the spin polarization of a slow positron beam via state-selective depopulation of 2^{3}S_{1} positronium atoms, generated by passing the beam through a gas cell. Our method employs circularly polarized microwave radiation to drive 2^{3}S_{1}→2^{3}P_{1} transitions, for which either Δm_{J}=+1 or Δm_{J}=-1, and relies on the fact that asymmetries between the two cases yield the underlying positron beam polarization. Using this technique we show that the polarization of a positron beam derived from a solid neon moderator may be increased from 30% to 90% by increasing the moderator thickness, with an associated reduction in beam intensity of 60%.

Background: This case report details a true hemifacial hyperplasia with temporomandibular joint ankylosis case managed through a multidisciplinary approach involving department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, and prosthodontics.
Case Presentation: A 42-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of limited mouth opening. Clinically, the patient exhibited severe facial asymmetry due to hyperplasia of the left facial region.
